About this listen
"Are you my mummy?"
Tessa Markham returns home to find a child in her kitchen. He thinks she’s his mother. But Tessa doesn’t have any children.
Not anymore.
She doesn’t know who the little boy is or how he got there.
After contacting the police, Tessa is suspected of taking the mystery child. Her whole life is turned upside down. And then her husband reveals a secret of his own….
Tessa isn’t sure what to believe or who to trust. Because someone is lying. To find out who, she must confront her painful past. But is the truth more dangerous than Tessa realises?
An absolutely pause-resisting psychological thriller with a twist that will make you wonder if you can ever trust anyone again. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Sister this book will have you hooked.

Kept me wanting more/predictable
I love this narrator! She's fantastic with conveying emotion. Once I started this, I couldn't stop. I did figure out the twist early but I still listened to the end.

Another great book by Shalini Boland. I enjoyed the mystery and was surprised as the story progressed and started to make sense. Excellent narration as always by Katie Villa.

Lead boring
Struggled to finished. I knew the ending half way through. Lead was un sympathic and boring. I thought she was not a strong character
